Lowering corporation taxes doesn't do all the things right wingers say it does. Corporations compete with each other and that creates the price. Taxes affect prices but cutting corporate taxes leads mostly to them simply making more profit. You can't possibly think the legal bribing from companies to Republican lawmakers is so we can bring the cost of goods down by 2% after cutting taxes in half, that is fucking retarded. You don't believe that.
You are regurgitating right wing talking points and again falling for the same thing I just discussed - your argument is "everyone is going to save money" but if you get beans and 1% lower groceries and the CEO of a corporation gets millions and then you get fucked! There would then be billions less in taxes to pay for (potentially your) programs like you getting medicare when you are older or your social security checks. The Republicans got you a $1,000 bonus check today - then later in your life you are going to lose more than that every single month because they want to kill the plans. They are fucking your asshole.

The economy was doing great already. This is the same thing that always happens. A Democrat inherits a shitshow economy from a mindless Republican, spends 8 years fixing it (sometimes in stupid ways), fixes the Republican problems and then the dumbass public says "I want change at any cost" and votes for another Republican, who trickle down bubbles up the economy, the markets bubble up and pop, then we are in a recession and oh guess we better vote for a responsible Democrat to fix it, and that goes on forever and ever. MSM acts like history never repeats itself in regard to it.

Firstly you know good and well that that idea is never going to lead to significant donations. Poor people can't give away money and rich people don't give away money. Secondly, are you going to ignore the fact that the Republicans are lowering taxes in a way to purposefully crash the system so they can say "we have no choice but to get rid of social security and medicare now"? The proof is at the top of the forum video if you need to review it.
